Chapter 15 Stand Up

"The person you are looking for is here."

"They're here."

What a surprise.

No one thought that Yang Ligeng would rush out at this time.Even the hungriest and craziest bloodspattered dog can't beat this old man in terms of impact speed when catching prey.

Everyone present was stunned, and even wondered if their eyes were wrong.Because just a few minutes ago, Yang Ligeng was still weak and leaned on the chair and told a touching story, feeling that he had already seen the dark world, even if Ling Zihan swung a knife and cut off his head on the spot, it didn't matter.

Yan Shangzu was very vigilant. He held a knife in his right hand and pointed straight at the strange old man who was rushing from the front. At the same time, he adjusted the small searchlight installed on his left shoulder and covered it with bright light so that he could see the appearance of the coming person clearly.

"Who are you?" he snapped.

"I... I am one of yours." Yang Ligeng has never been so sober as he is now.He stopped at a position about three meters away from the blade, gestured with both hands indiscriminately, and hurriedly confessed his identity.

The confidant has been following Yan Shangzu, he frowned and looked forward carefully before shaking his head: "I've never seen you, we don't have someone like you in the Bonebreaker Gang."

Yang Ligeng felt his heart beating so fast, as if it might break through the barriers of muscles and skin and jump out of his body at any time.He hurriedly explained: "I didn't lie to you, I'm really a member of the Bonebreaker Gang! Wang Chao promised me to report my identity to Sui Ancient Town later. If you don't believe me, ask Wang Chao!"

The confidant subconsciously wanted to open his mouth, but suddenly closed his mouth at a critical moment, turned sideways and carefully glanced at the expressionless Yan Shangzu.

"Wang Chao is dead."

Yan Shangzu slowly withdrew the knife and changed to a more comfortable grip position.He stared at Yang Ligeng with unfriendly eyes, and asked lightly: "What is your relationship with Wang Chao?"

Yang Ligeng raised his hand and wiped the dense cold sweat oozing from the roots of his white hair: "Wang Chao promised to bring me into the Bonebreaker Gang, and he also promised..."

"It's impossible." Yan Shangzu looked him up and down, and said in a cold tone, "Bonebreaker Gang won't want someone like you."

He wasn't lying, it was the truth.

Gangs in the wilderness have their own rules for recruiting, and only those with strong strength are required.As long as the degree of transformation is high and there is a strong combat effectiveness, it is not a problem to be older.

"Wang Chao took my money, he took my money!" Yang Ligeng's knees softened, and he couldn't help but knelt down towards Yan Shangzu.He said pitifully, his face full of pleading and anticipation.

Yan Shangzu narrowed his eyes and asked, "How much did he charge you?"

"Three..." Yang Ligeng quickly changed his words after speaking halfway: "Oh, no, it's five...he charged me five silver cents."

Yan Shangzu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He thought of the video he had seen before. Wang Chao yelled and asked Ling Zihan for five silver horns.

Yan Shangzu let out a dismissive cold snort from his nostrils, and his words were full of undisguised sarcasm and ridicule: "An old dog like you also wants to join the Boneshards? Pay five silver cents for joining the gang?"

"Even if you make up a story, you should put some thought into it, okay?"

"As I said just now, not everyone wants the Bonebreaker Gang. As for the deal between you and Wang Chao, that is between you and him."

"There are too many people who want to join the Bonebreaker Gang. Do you think you can fool me with just five silver horns? Old man, you're just stupid. Don't you think I'm a low-intelligence creature like you, and just as stupid as you?"

As he spoke, he stepped forward quickly, grabbed Yang Ligeng's throat, lifted it high with great strength, and lifted his toes off the ground.

"Did you tell Wang Chao that someone made a lot of money when he went to the mountain to pick goods last time, and asked him to stay at the intersection today to trouble those two young people?" Yan Shangzu asked gloomyly.

He already knew the ins and outs of the matter, but he didn't expect that the old man who just entered Yazi Town would be one of the parties involved.

Yang Ligeng kicked his legs in the air, grabbed Yan Shangzu's arm with both hands and struggled desperately, trying to loosen a gap from the opponent's iron clamp-like tiger's mouth, but no matter what he did, he couldn't exert enough strength, so he could only open his mouth wide and breathe in pain and despair.

"I...I...willing to do anything for you." Like a fish dying from dehydration, he managed to spit out a few incoherent words from the depths of his throat: "Please...you...let me go...I..."

Yan Shangzu raised his head, stared at him with evil eyes, and laughed wildly with a loud voice.

"What can you do for me?"

"Can you hunt? Or can you beat others?"

"Just your broken and old rotten parts are of no use to me. If you die, people will waste their energy digging and filling your grave."

"So...hehehehe, go to hell!"

The mechanical arm suddenly exerted force, completely smashing Yang Ligeng's fragile throat.The expression of extreme astonishment and pain froze on his face, as if it was originally a strange texture carved on the skinny face.

Yan Shangzu threw the corpse in his hand high, and soon heard the sound of heavy objects falling from behind, as well as countless mixed bodies of surprise and greed.

Although he is old, he can still make money!

Yan Shangzu continued to stride forward. He stood still not far from the tavern, with an extremely fierce and fearsome aura, and adjusted the dazzling searchlight to the front again.

"Who are Ling Zihan and Liao Qiu? Get out of here."

Ling Zihan clearly felt a tremor coming from Liao Qiu who was close to his right arm.

He tilted his head and glanced at his old friend. Those familiar eyes showed a struggling look, with rage, murderous intent, and obvious timidity and fear.

According to the strength classification standard of the dark world, both he and Liao Qiu belonged to the "D" level primary body.

Yan Shangzu's reputation is illustrious, and he, the leader of the Bonebreaker Gang, has secured his current position through killing and blood.

There are two stages between the "B" class and the "D" class, and his powerful combat power has completely crushed Ling Zihan and Liao Qiu.

Ling Zihan raised his hand and pressed lightly on Liao Qiu's shoulder, and walked out of the crowd slowly with a vague smile on his face.

He stared at the tall and burly steel figure in front of him with eyes as clear as water: "I am Ling Zihan."

Yan Shangzu was slightly taken aback.

On the way here, he imagined countless possibilities and scenarios, but he didn't expect the target to stand in front of him without any concealment, and announced his name in a clear and masculine voice.

Could it be that this kid is tired of living and deliberately courting death?
Or does he have some kind of reliance and is not afraid?
If it is the first type, this young man must have a brain problem. Either he was stupefied by the behavior of the hundreds of bonebreakers on his side who crushed Yang Ligeng to death, or he knew that he would not let him go, so he ran over to beg for death.

This kind of thing is very common in the wilderness.Especially between husband and wife and parents and children, they take the initiative to beg for death in exchange for their lives, so that others can survive.

Ling Zihan and Liao Qiu... the former has already appeared. Could it be that he wants to use this method in exchange for Liao Qiu's chance of survival?

Yan Shangzu narrowed his eyes again, staring at Ling Zihan under the light.

If... If it is the second type, the opponent has a strong hole card in his hand, what should we do?
What if he really was the Firecaller?

Yan Shangzu suddenly felt a headache.

The possibility of the Firecaller had been publicly debunked by him before.He thinks that is the most logical explanation, and it is also the reason and motivation for bringing a large number of gang members to Yazi Town to arrest and kill people.

However, looking at the other party's calm expression, unflinching movements, and the indifferent gaze released from those black eyes... Yan Shangzu suddenly felt dizzy.

No, it should be scalp numbness.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Had I known this earlier, I shouldn't have made a big fuss.

There are many ways to solve the problem, but I chose the worst one.

Yan Shangzu is definitely not timid.For people in the dark wilderness, the word "dignity" is worthless.

But deep in his heart, there was still a sliver of anticipation just around the corner.

What if I guess wrong?He is not a firecaller.

It's not that you can't admit your mistakes in public, but if you do that, it will mean that your prestige and face in the Bonebreaker Gang will be completely wiped out.

After thinking for a long time, Yan Shangzu forced a hint of ferocity on his face, pointed the knife in his right hand, and asked, "Did you kill Wang Chao?"

This question is too much, but he has to bite the bullet and do useless work.

Wang Chao?

This name was very unfamiliar to Ling Zihan. He frowned and thought for a moment, and soon found the image of the middle-aged man surnamed Wang from the depths of his mind.

"That's right, I killed it." He stood there leisurely, but in his mind he quickly calculated the possible attack angle of the opponent and the direction he was evading, and explained: "He didn't obey the rules, and asked me to give him an extra three silver horns for entering the mountain."

Liao Qiu also walked out of the crowd, stood side by side with Ling Zihan, and yelled at Yan Shangzu: "Your Bonebreakers are not following the rules. We have already paid for the pass, why do you charge extra money?"

Yan Shangzu was a little annoyed by what he said: "Killing people for this little thing, do you think the Bones are easy to bully?"

Ling Zihan smiled, this time the smile came from the heart.

"From what you mean, it should mean that we deserve to be blackmailed and bullied?"

He observed the words and expressions, and saw through the weak and uncertain elements in Yan Shangzu's heart.

Although it was a last resort to release fireballs at the intersection to kill people, to some extent it was Ling Zihan's intentional display of strength.

He thought that the Bonebreaker Gang retreated in spite of the difficulties, and the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, the other party forced him step by step and chased him all the way to Yazi Town.

Before Yan Shangzu could speak, Ling Zihan raised his head, raised his right hand, and moved five fingers slowly in midair.

"Are you going to fight?"

He added chips in a cold and arrogant tone: "Or you think I'm not big enough, and want to try it yourself?"
